As though you need further reasons to respect the heck out of Christian Bale (you don't), here you go: after already visiting victims of the Aurora shooting earlier this summer, Bale once again showed his capacity for kindness by meeting with a four-year-old boy diagnosed with MDS Leukemia.

According to Thunder Treats, the "Dark Knight Rises" actor flew out young Jayden and his family to Los Angeles for lunch last week, after hearing about the ailing boy's big wish to meet Batman. Described by Jayden's family as "so awesome and down to earth," Bale's decision to meet with Jayden only further proves that the Oscar-winner is one of the true good guys in Hollywood. Bravo, Mr. Bale.
